My apartment is filthy, I need to clean, but I'm sitting around asking myself, "Where's my motivation? Where's my motivation?"
And then I realized I hadn't made tea yet.
Mal: Inara, think you could stoop to being on my arm? Inara: Will you wash it first?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No tea in the world makes me want to clean.
I'm still cursing never having had a teen girl body. You'd think, what with people who were born when I entered my teens now on the cusp of leaving theirs, that I'd be over it by now, but I have a flash of resentment every time I walk through juniors.
Word word WORD word word.
We just got back from the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio ( [link] ) with our guests. It was really cool, although we did not see Byron's name that he carved into the temple marble. As we were looking at the graffiti, an older guy and his toyboy walked past, and the toyboy was asking "Did he write love poetry? Or all kinds of poetry?" The old guy (who was American) answered, "Oh, Byron was a hopeless romantic!" and Robert and I flinched.
Our friend, who is quite conservative, asked if we were flinching because the guys were clearly a couple. Robert explained "No, he called Byron 'hopeless.'"
ION, I am a full-on Crocs convert now. I wore mine today and they are light and flexible so my feet conformed to the eroded rock surfaces and I had much more sure footing than I've ever had. And while they were covered with red dirt after walking around, I just threw them in the tub and all clean! And comfy!

I went back to bed and slept for two hours. Does it count as a nap if you never took off your pajamas, but you did eat breakfast, or is it simply extended sleep?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, hell. The hurricane strike map is now aimed directly at New Orleans.

It's extended sleep with a break for fortification, Theo.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was supposed to go to my friend's house "early" to do a fitting on a bridesmaid dress, then go into my shop and do her alteration, her mother's alteration, and perhaps make a dress for me. It is 11:10, and I mam still here.
But... my cat was being cuddly and I felt bad leaving
Ooh! And there's TV's Pacey! Who recently offered my friend some coke at a party.
Jesse-- is there any more to this story?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Actually, I can't identify at least 70% of the people they show and ridicule. Perhaps I should be proud of that?

Sympathy for the folks nearer the Gulf Coast, but I'm loving the fact that we have clouds and rain for the first time in a month.
I was all panicky finishing up half of what I thought was due out yesterday at 11:00 pm, and then realized that the next segment is actually due 8/31. The euphoria saw me home safely. Though it may not survive the 50 page recordkeeping grid document I have to apply edits to tomorrow.
